A review by morgangiesbrecht
Wolf Soldier by James R. Hannibal
4.0
I really enjoy Hannibal’s writing, and this story was no exception!
In the beginning, I struggled to get into the world building, and I found myself wishing for a character list or terminology index as there were “made up” words I wasn’t totally sure what they meant until later on. This probably had more to do with my brain fog than the author’s writing. But it ended up working out as the action picked up after the 30% mark and then I binged the rest of the book in one night because I was hooked!
There’s something in the book reminiscent of Tolkien’s Middle Earth and Lewis’s Narnia combined with modern allegorical fantasy like Chuck Black’s writing and Ed Dunlop’s world of Terrestria.
The themes and allegory elements dealing with spiritual warfare and the armour of God were well done. Amid the moments of seriousness, Hannibal wove in a fantastic sense of humour and banter along with some light hints of romance. And I would be remiss if I failed to mention the incredible twists!
